Elliot Giles prize money
Elliot Giles has been paid $33,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 848th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from sixteen paid finishes in the men's 800 m, men's 1500 m and men's mile, the best of them 3rd.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
The sixteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $33,000 is sixteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Eight of the 24 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $8,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Elliot Giles in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2026, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $33,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Elliot Giles won?
$33,000, which ranks 848th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from sixteen paid finishes between 2017 and 2026.
What is Elliot Giles's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing 3rd in the 1500 m at the 2024 Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Elliot Giles gets paid?
Entirely by where he finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a place is worth the same in the men's 800 m as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
Has Elliot Giles ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Eight times. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Elliot Giles earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. It holds no championship prize money, no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid him, priced off the card it published.
